Mt Baker in Washington State - The Snowiest Place on Earth

And so we remained till the red of the dawn began to fall through the snow gloom. I was desolate and afraid, and full of woe and terror. But when that beautiful sun began to climb the horizon life was to me again.
~Bram Stoker

Mt. Baker in Washington State averages over 600" of snow a year and holds the world record snowfall in a season of over 1,000".


Note: Mt Baker is the location of a ski resort (unexpected, right?)

Something else I learned:The snowiest place on earth is determined by locations where snow fall can be, and is, accurately measured.
